Friends of the Forest January book:

Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt

In a quiet coastal town, an unlikely friendship forms between a grieving woman and a curiously wise octopus. Told with tenderness and humor, this debut novel explores the healing that can happen when we least expect it—and the strange, beautiful connections that guide us home. Gentle, luminous, and full of heart, it’s a reminder that even the most broken parts of us can find light again.
